JSP gets herself back in the limelight for a brief moment... it's been a while.

It was mildly annoying until the "cyclists aren't even legally required to wear a helmet" bit, at which point I wanted to see Ms. Stweet Portah being flattened by a fast moving Boris bike.

She cropped up as guest on "Have I got news for you" on Friday night so perhaps she is looking to raise her mejia profile.

TBF, as a Londoner,I think she does make some good points. Although her presentation could have been much better.
Aside from stating the obvious, I.e don't got through red lights, does she say anything worthwhile?
To me it sounded like she's just reinforcing attitudes towards cyclists that are less than helpful...

There are some aggressive people who ride bikes, I think we have more than our fair share in London, riding fast and weaving through groups of pedestrians on pavements and shared pathways. When cycle lanes are being built pavement space is squeezed to single file, no good for people in wheelchairs and there has been an increase in traffic fumes with backed up queues of vehicles pumping out diesel fumes which damage everyone's lungs. Her attack on cyclists as a homogeneous group is poor though.
Idiot cyclists exist in London, as they do everywhere, but with regard to cycle superhighways being built etc, does she not kick off then every time such a project is being built elsewhere? Crossrail anyone?
I'm a London commuting cyclist as well btw and am often surprised at how crap some people are at cycling...as well as how inept some people are at crossing roads, driving cars etc
booze and cake
probably out cycling
No worries, luckily nobody cares about JSP's opinion on anything, ever.
She has a voice more grating than a hybrid saffa/brummie accent singing a lullaby, but I can't really blame her for that. She went to school with my Mum and while they were there she grassed on my Mum for smoking grass (pun-tastic), nobody likes a snitch.
And whatever happened to Normski? He was so ashamed of being associated with her he's been hiding from the world for decades.
I hope next time she's out rambling she falls down a cravass, like in the film 127 hours, but instead of getting her arm caught she gets her head stuck, and has to free herself the same way that bloke did.
